Smoothie Calorie Builder: What Your Blend Really Adds Up To
Smoothies feel light, but their calories add up fast once juice, nut butter, and sweeteners join. Adding the parts shows the total before you blend.
What is the Smoothie Calorie Builder?
This builder totals a smoothie from one base liquid, one fruit, and one extra, using typical serving values for planning. Figures are estimates for comparison, not exact nutrition labels, and they change with portion size and brand. Water and ice add volume without calories.
